There is so much to do in London, let alone the rest of the UK. Despite having cold and rainy weather for most of the year, there are still very cool attractions you should consider checking out. Here are our top three must-see attractions in the United Kingdom.  

Buckingham Palace 

It is no surprise that visiting Buckingham palace is at the top of our list. While there is a little to actually do apart from watching the changing of the guard. It is still amazing to see the Palace and begin understanding the Monarchy’s history. Located in Central London, it is an accessible destination for everyone visiting London. 

Stonehenge 

This mystical prehistoric monument is located in Wiltshire, England, and is considered a UNESCO world heritage site. Stonehenge is one of the world’s many wonders and one of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom. Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed around 3000 BC to 2000 BC.

Over the years since the first man walked on the moon, the fascination for space and space travel has only increased. As a result, many governments, companies, and organizations fund research into space travel. But is commercial space travel closer than we think? Well, we do, and here is why.

With the right amount
Anyone can enjoy a suborbital trip for the right piece of a mere half a million dollars. Still, for 50 million orbital expeditions available. Commercial space tourism is valued at more than 450 billion dollars and is only expected to grow and increase by 2040. These two different ‘types’ of space travel depend on how far the spacecraft is sent into orbit.

Jeff Bazos’ Blue Origin completed its first space tourism flight in July 2021. Sending people safely to space for a quick 10-minute trip to space. Other companies such as SpaceX, which is Elon Musks’ company. Managed to send a group of four private citizens to orbit for a three-day trip through orbit in 2021.

For the mega-wealthy, it is expected that in 2025. There will be a space hotel that can accommodate 28 people. With a bigger voyager station able to house 400 guests, which is scheduled to open in 2027. As of now, commercial space travel is only possible for the mega-super wealthy However, we are all hoping that the average person will soon be able to experience a trip to space.

Japan is a fascinating destination with the perfect blend of old traditions and new technology. You can discover gorgeous natural landscapes outside the loud and vibrant cities, with some of the world’s best restaurants and bars. We are here to explain a few things you must know before visiting Japan. But, of course, you are not welcome to any surprise.

Safety

Japan is often listed as the world’s safest country and is known as one of the best places for solo female travelers to go. Still, it would be best to stay alert with any destination. You are always cautioned to be aware and not flaunt your money or go to shady areas not to provoke anyone.

Cash is Key

Many workers in Japan only being paid in cash. Therefore, many businesses, restaurants, and shops might not accept cards. However, your hotel and other specific services will accept cards. So it is always worth carrying money around.

Buying a rail pass

Getting a Japan Rail Pass can help you save a lot of money, especially if you are thinking of traveling around the entire region and getting out of the cities. So we recommend buying an unlimited pass so you are free to travel as you please. The pass also gives you access to the bullet train, which is an experience in itself. However, remember that these unlimited passes are only valid for a certain number of days– seven, 14, or 21. So if you are in Japan for less than that, it might not be helpful.

With the rolling hills of Tuscany, the birthplace of Leonardo De Vinci, and old villages, this area of Italy has so much to explore. There is so much to see and do, and not just drink wine at a winery. Here are some hidden gems you should check out on your next trip to Italy.

Pitigliano

Located in southern Tuscany, Pitigliano captures why we love Italy. This town stands out within volcanic stone and history, dating back to Neolithic times. Pitigliano plays a massive role in Jewish history, dating back to the Second World War. As a result, it was nicknamed ‘Little Jerusalem’. It is an excellent place for those interested in history and museums, with the coast being an hour’s drive away.

Lajatico

Lajatico is located a short forty minutes drive from Florence. Is considered the opera capital and the birthplace of the critically acclaimed Andrea Bocelli. Here is where Andera built an amphitheater, ‘ Teatro del Silenzio’. It is possible to see concerts here all year, so check one out if you are in the area. Additionally, Lajatico has plenty of cafes and shops to enjoy in the city’s winding small paths.

Saturnia Hot Springs

These hot springs are located six kilometers outside Saturnia and are known for their rich Greek origins. These thermal springs are rich in mineral deposits (which do give a sulfur-eggy smell, you have been warned). The water temperatures can reach up to 37.5 degrees Celsius. However, these pools are free to enter at the Cascate del Mulino. There are no changing rooms and limited parking, so come dressed early to grab a spot before it gets too crowded.

Andorra is the seventeenth smallest country in the world, just to give you some idea of its size. While it may be small, there is soo much to offer, and that size doesn’t matter. Here are our top reasons why you should visit Andorra this year.

The Ski Resorts

Andorra is located in the middle of the Pyrenees, making it one of Europe’s best destinations for winter sports—especially skiing. This year Andorra is hosting the Winter Olympics. It’s home to many winter sports resorts, so there are plenty of options. 

The Shopping 

Despite being tiny, it is surprisingly a fantastic shopping spot. Andorra de la Vella’s capital includes shops, department stores, fashion boutiques, and hypermarkets. The main reason it is so popular as a shopping destination is its tax-free shopping. 

The Cuisine 

Andorra’s cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighboring countries, France and Spain, especially Catalunya. Their national dish is Escudella, a hearty broth stew filled with chunks of meat and vegetables and large pasta shells with beans or chickpeas. Although Adorra has no coastline, making fish scarce, there are often trout in mountain streams, depending on the seasons.

Barcelona is a popular destination for all sorts of travel, and it is obvious why. Barcelona is the best place for travelers seeking fun and culture, with a rich history and incredibly vibrant nightlife. Here are our top three favorite activities to do in Barcelona.

Picasso Museum 

Pablo Picasso is one of the world’s most famous and well-known artists. Picasso was a young artist who quickly made an impression; throughout his time, he created over 4,251 works. The Museum opened in 1963 and explored a deeper relationship between Picasso and his father, and his connection to Barcelona that shaped his adolescence and youth and stayed with him until he died. Picasso Museum is perfect for travelers who love art, history, and exploring.

La Sagrada Familia 

This monumental church began construction in 1882 and was outlined and drawn up by the famous architect Gaudi with help from Francisco de Paula de Villar—built only with donations from the public. The temple has been under construction ever since. Ever since day one, it has been a great church to visit. We suggest spending at least two to three hours here, and there is so much to see despite being unfinished. 

Gothic Quarter

Stroll through the iconic, old-European streets and alleys with the most picturesque neighborhood in the absolute heart of Barcelona. The Gothic Quarter blends historical artifacts from the Roman empire until the Spanish Civil War. The perfect place for those who love to discover quaint terraces and plazas brought to life with bars and local musicians that last all night long.

Barcelona is a popular destination for all sorts of travel, and it is obvious why. Barcelona is the best place for travelers seeking fun and culture, with a rich history and incredibly vibrant nightlife. Here are our top three favorite activities to do in Barcelona.

Picasso Museum 

Pablo Picasso is one of the world’s most famous and well-known artists. Picasso was a young artist who quickly made an impression; throughout his time, he created over 4,251 works. The Museum opened in 1963 and explored a deeper relationship between Picasso and his father, and his connection to Barcelona that shaped his adolescence and youth and stayed with him until he died. Picasso Museum is perfect for travelers who love art, history, and exploring.

La Sagrada Familia 

This monumental church began construction in 1882 and was outlined and drawn up by the famous architect Gaudi with help from Francisco de Paula de Villar—built only with donations from the public. The temple has been under construction ever since. Ever since day one, it has been a great church to visit. We suggest spending at least two to three hours here, and there is so much to see despite being unfinished. 

Gothic Quarter

Stroll through the iconic, old-European streets and alleys with the most picturesque neighborhood in the absolute heart of Barcelona. The Gothic Quarter blends historical artifacts from the Roman empire until the Spanish Civil War. The perfect place for those who love to discover quaint terraces and plazas brought to life with bars and local musicians that last all night long.
